This cordless telephone operates at the maximum power
allowed by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate
over only a certain distance — which can vary with the
locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or office. For best
performance, keep the base antenna fully extended.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the
handset might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might
not connect when you press P. Move closer to the
base, then press P to answer the call.
OPERATING RANGE
If you move out of range during a phone
conversation, you will hear noise or interference. To
improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing o, your
phone will be left “off the hook.” To hang up properly,
walk back into range, periodically pressing o.
This cordless phone has ten channels available for
maximum performance.

Table/Desk Installation
1 Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a
telephone jack.
This phone requires a modular telephone jack and a
standard electrical outlet (110v AC) not controlled by
a wall switch.
2 Install the handset battery.
(For an illustration of battery installation, see the
BATTERIES section in this manual.)
• Remove the battery cover by pressing on the
indentation and sliding downward.
• Install the battery pack so that the metal contacts
on the bottom of the battery are aligned with the
charging contacts in the battery compartment.
• Replace the battery cover by sliding it on its track
up over the battery compartment until it snaps
firmly in place.
3 Set the dial mode.
If you have touch tone service, set the switch on the
bottom of the base to TONE. If you have dial pulse
(rotary) service, set the switch to PULSE. Even if you
have dial pulse service, you can still use telephone
services requiring tone signals. See “Temporary Tone”
in the OPERATION section of this manual.
4 Connect the telephone line cord.
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the jack
on the back of the base. Plug the other end of the
line cord into a modular jack. Make sure the plugs
snap firmly in place.
5 Connect the power cord.
Plug the power adapter into the jack on the back of
the base. Plug the AC adapter on the power cord into
an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
The POWER light on the base goes on.
NOTE: Connect power to the base unit before placing
the handset in the cradle.
6 Charge the handset batteries for 16 hours.
Place the handset face down in the base. The
CHARGING light on the base goes on to show the
handset is in the right position to charge the batteries.
7 Check for dial tone.
After the batteries are charged, pick up the handset
and extend the base antenna. Check for a dial tone
by pressing P; you should hear a dial tone.

the wall jack fit into the base of the telephone. Slide
the telephone down on the mounting studs until the

Installation.”
Belt Clip
If you wish, you can attach the belt clip to the cordless

Wall Installation
1 Follow Steps 1-3 under Table/Desk Installation.
2 Remove the reversible base.
The telephone comes with the reversible base
installed in the table mount position. Remove the
reversible base by depressing the clips on each side of
the base while gently lifting upward. Position the
base so that the thicker end is toward the front of the
telephone (see the illustration).
3 Reattach the reversible base.
• Insert the tabs of the reversible base into the slots
on the bottom of the telephone base.
• Gently press the thicker end of the reversible
base until it snaps firmly into place.
4 Connect the power cord.
• Plug the power adapter into the jack on the back
of the base.
• Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet not
controlled by a wall switch.
NOTE: Connect power to the base unit before placing
the handset in the cradle.
5 Connect the telephone line cord.
• Using the short telephone line cord supplied,
insert one end of the telephone line cord into the
telephone jack on the rear of the telephone base.
• Feed the remaining line cord into the rectangular
opening by pressing the line cord into the
grooves of the reversible base, leaving at least
three inches free. Plug the line cord into the
standard wall jack.

If you have difficulty operating this phone, try the
suggestions below. If you still have trouble, call
1 800 PCC–9125.
If the phone doesn’t work at all, check these
items first:
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not
controlled by a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly
into the base unit and the modular jack.
• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
• If the phone does not beep when you press P,
the battery might need charging.
• If the LOW BATT light is on, the battery needs
recharging.
• Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.
• If you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone
line, make sure the dial mode switch is set to PULSE.
If the above suggestions don’t solve the problem, try
re-initializing the handset and base:
1 Disconnect the power to the base.
2 Remove the handset battery pack.
3 Wait a few minutes.
4 Connect the power to the base.
5 Insert the handset battery pack.
6 Put the handset in the base to re-initialize.
If you hear noise or interference when using the
phone:
• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
• You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
• Household appliances plugged into the same circuit
as the base can sometimes cause interference. Try
moving the appliance or the base to another outlet.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting
the operating range. Try moving the base to another
location, preferably on an upper floor.
• If the buttons don’t work, try resetting the security
code by placing the handset in the base for at least
15 seconds.
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
• Make sure the handset ringer is on.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly
to the base and the telephone jack.
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an
outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
• You might be too far from the base; move closer.
• You might have too many extension phones on your
telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try
unplugging some of them.
If you hear other calls while using your phone:
Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a
corded telephone. If you still hear other calls, the
problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call
your local telephone service company.
If you lose a call after changing channels:
You were probably almost out of range. Move closer to
the base before changing channels. Before placing
another call, set the handset in the base for at least 15
seconds.
If you are unable to operate special telephone
services or other equipment requiring touch tone
signals:
• If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, follow the
directions in “Temporary Tone” in the TELEPHONE
OPERATION section of this manual.
• The tones generated by this phone may not be long
enough to activate some services or equipment. You
might need to use a different touch tone phone.

electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to
short the battery with conducting materials such
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause harm.
• Charge the battery provided with or identified for
use with this product only in accordance with the
